Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia issued a current memorandum or Executive Order in October 1 regarding the updated travel guidelines for passengers visiting Cebu Province.
Effective immediately, all inbound passengers shall no longer be required to present a negative RT-PCR Test of Rapid Antigen test result.
Instead, passengers will only need to secure a medical certificate issued by the passenger’s point of origin within 24 hours before arrival in Cebu stating that the passenger does not show any Covid-19 symptoms.
Meanwhile, Cebu City Emergency Operations Center recently declared that the 3rd surge of the Covid-19 has ended after it hit the city with doubled cases last July 2021.
Emergency Operations Center Deputy Chief City Councilor Joel Garganera said that third wave of Covid-19 has ended with a lowest daily positivity rate of 3.97% which is the lowest for the last four months.
Garganera added that the increased cases for the last couple months were also intensified due to Delta variant adding more than 4,000 active occurrences of the virus in August. Amid the situation hospitals and health facilities where overwhelmed causing high death toll.
Acting Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama’s Oplan Puyo was then implemented to help alleviate the situation, and after a few months, with the coordination of other sectors and the public, Cebu City’s third wave Covid-19 has now ended.
